Make a date with a seed swap

Fancy getting exchanging some of your old seed packets for exciting new ones – for free? Seedy Sunday is a UK-wide community event that lets thrifty gardeners spring clean their seed stock and get some new seeds in exchange.

The London swap is part of a skill share day, with advice for new gardeners and gardening mags and books up for grabs. But if you’re not in London, don’t despair – the kick-off event for Seedy Sunday is in Brighton, and swaps are being held all over the country (see full list here). So grab your unloved seed packets and get stuck in!
